Applebaum also highlighted how the NSA's own slides claim the agency has the ability to use Wi-Fi to seed exploits via packet injection from up to eight miles away, purportedly using this tool "under ideal environmental conditions."

Granted the documents revealing this are from 2007, so things have likely evolved since then.

If the NSA wants to come to Murfreesboro TN, AKA anytown USA, let them come and waste their time spying on me as I search for basketball statistics for several hours whilst watching B-rated zombie movies on netflix.

We have afforded the government far to much power and and trust-to include distrust.
I have a plan.

We can start be prosecuting Director of National Intelligence James Clapper for lying to Congress. Vote and comment in my poll here on City Data.

Should Director of National Intelligence James Clapper be prosecuted for lying to Congress?

If the NSA wants to spy on what I am doing, they are going to do so. The power to tap into a WiFi connection from 8 miles away is nothing compared to the ability to tap into bank accounts, and other personal data that is available electronically.

Keep in mind that tactics such as hacking into a wi-fi connected are targeted. This means the NSA is not going to hack into your WiFi connection unless they have a pretty good reason to do so.

If the NSA wants to spy on what I am doing, the joke is on them. If mundanity become a federal offense in the future, however, I am going to be in big trouble.

The point being they can do whatever they want.

Want to send you to prison... plant a little child porn on your computer then send the Feds in with a warrant.

Yup. As I said, you have to give them a reason.

This is very naïve and shows little knowledge of history.
